As the storm clouds of world war gather, Cordelia seeks refuge in the grounds of her family estate. Isaac has recently arrived to tend to the gardens and the connection between them is as immediate as it is forbidden. Isaac begins to secretly teach her how to cultivate the gardens, so when he and all the young men are called away to war, Cordelia takes over. From the battlefields of Europe, Isaac sends her letters, that give her hope for a future in peacetime. But when these messages abruptly cease, Cordelia must face up to the worst and take her future, and the fate of the garden they both loved, into her own hands… An epic, sweeping tale of love, war and the strength of the human spirit. Fans of Lucinda Riley and Kate Morton will be absolutely gripped by this historical page-turner.
